It had been several days without a word from the government concerning the cyber attacks by TYRANT against the Oval Office. And while President Harker wasn't in Raccoon at the time his delegates were handling all of his affairs such as answering phone calls, email responses, and a small group of people who had amassed outside the City Hall. Finally his plane landed in the city, he was returning from his trip from the West coast trying to secure more of the old world for the United Territories.
"Mr. Harker, we should address the public directly on the accusations of you being part of Himura's family," said one of his assistants.
"Very well, alert the news there'll be a press conference for the 6 news," Harker replied pouring himself a glass of wine, "let the games begin Legatus."

Harker was surrounded by cameras and reporters, beyond them a crowd of people from the city were at the foot of the City Hall as he began conducting addressing the public on the accusations.
"Good evening my friends and the people of our Union. I'd of liked to have addressed this sooner but I was on the west coast attempting to unite lost territories to grow our Union further and the signal from coast to coast isn't the best so I held this off until I was personally in the city," Harker said, his usual charismatic grin on his face. They called him the playboy President, akin to a John F. Kennedy type, the people loved him but he had plenty of enemies who would sooner kill him than accept him.
"My name is and has always been Spencer Harker, my family lineage can be tracked back generations and I have blood tests to prove I am who I am, regardless of the accusations, there has never been a confirmed son of Hija Himura, only a daughter and we are still on the look out for her. I understand the Bio-Altered community is not on the same page as us because of the scanners and because of the medications they're asked to take to suppress their powers to 'normalize' them into society but I assure you we have been working alongside GENTEC and a new medication has been developed."
This wasn't his ace up his sleeve but it was something to deflect the eye from him, "the new medication is called REGEN-29, it'll have a less technical name after it's publicly released but it curbs the current side effects of Biotene, no longer will you feel like a zombie and no longer will you feel like a part of you is missing. You'll feel normal and natural and it's said that REGEN-29 will even curb ailments with certain Bio-Altered diseases such as insomnia. Trials have began so we ask if there are any willing to please sign up for them so we can do away with Biotene and bring forth a better tomorrow."
He ended his speech there and several reporters began asking questions, he answered a few but one stood out.
"What about the accusations that you are, Arix Himura, what do you have to say to those who will continue to spread the rumor and force it into conspiracy," asked the reporter, one of Spencers guards went to push her mic out of the way but Harker stopped him.
"I welcome the accusations but there is no proof that Arix Himura has ever existed nor is there proof that he and I are the same person. As I've said, my family lineage dates back far enough to track each one of us to London and beyond and I have blood tests to prove I am who I say I am. They are welcomed to continue spreading conspiracy but they should also be careful, these are dangerous times and conspiracies have lead to some pretty bad outcomes in the last thirty years. Alright, that's all I have time for, thank you all for coming out if there are any further questions you can reach us by email on the website or call in at the offices. Good night America."
Harker sat back down on the couch in his office and began pulling his tie loose when his assistant entered the room, "phone call sir, directly asking for you they say their name is Shepard."
He took the phone and his assistant left the room, "let me guess, you're behind the accusations?"
"Hardly."
"That's hard to believe or very surprising," Harker said.
"If I wanted to bury you, I could do it in a heart beat," Shepard replied.
"Then why haven't you," Harker asked.
"You'll see soon enough," the line clicked dead.
There was a look of concern on Harkers face, what was his sister planning?
